Burn Den is a detached family house in an idyllic rural location. Situated in the historic Perthshire
parish of St Martins it is around 10 minutes drive (6 miles) from the centre of Perth. The area is
steeped in history with Scone palace, the ancient coronation site of the Kings of Scotland, only a few
miles away. Old maps from the 1800’s show the site of MacBeths castle as being on land close to
the house.

Positioned on what was the site of the old estate water-powered sawmill the house was newly built
some 12 years ago using the original stone from the mill, particularly in the front elevation. It was
specifically designed to sympathetically blend into the surrounding grounds and countryside. Being
relatively new it has the advantage of the perfect blend of old stone character and modern insulation.

features in a layout designed to suit modern family lifestyles.

All of this is provided in a lovely site extending to about 0.9 acres with views over open
Countryside. The secluded gardens are extensive and beautifully landscaped with sweeping lawns
leading down to the St Martins burn which runs through the grounds. The Burn is spanned by two
